Thanks to them, and all of you for letting me finish and start the year in such great company!Last week, in between the eating and the drinking and the rushing and that horrible, tragic tofu and butter incident, the calendar rolled over. As happens every year, tons of resolutions were made (admit it, you made some). So we asked the most relevant question – What resolution will you break first?
Here’s what you said. (As always, my answers will only last a few days in italics.)

To vote in these damn polls on Friday & not Thursday at 11:59pm! SheSnaaped(Oh, if only you’d gotten this posted in time!)To enjoy a very nice Picnic, oh that is a choco bar 🙂 Androgoth(That choco bar is for eating, Andro. Andro?!?)The early to bed clause, unless there is a good reason 😉 Androgoth(Laziness is an excellent reason! Or…so I’ve heard…)My resolution to not make New Year’s Resolutions…Ugh. KJ(Catch 22!!!)My resolution to not break resolutions. WG(Break that one first just to get it out of the way!)I am going to get up from my coma after working all of 2012 ~ Red(Hey, I worked through 2012 in a coma too!)I thought we made New Years Revolutions – I’m taking over Maine.(Careful – I hear Stephen King has…things…to keep it safe…)Hey Jude, john, paul, george, ringo – let’s go sing at the revolution! Buddhakat(You’re up ninth.)What?!? Revolution?!? Where?!? buddhakat(Earth. Once a day.)Drinking alcohol… guaranteed I can’t keep that one. I like my sauce. ~ Bpmuse(I was enjoying some as I wrote this response.)That I will stop convincing noobs to order milkshakes at the Bistro. Brain Tomahawk (But how else will they ever learn?)Getting Freshly Pressed-Lily In Canada(I thought you’d go for…steamed! HAHAHAHAHA!!!)That I’m not making resolutions (GiggsMcGill Jill)(Well, if you’re not gonna play along…)It’s time for those again? I didn’t make last year’s yet. Lizzie(Just write up the stuff you did and backdate them!)my daily goal of being showered and dressed by noon – sandylikeabeach(Woah! Baby steps there, Sandy. Baby steps.)Not to break resolutions, then something about eating. Carrie Cannibalistic Nerd(What if you broke bread with a resolution? Two for one!))to stop dressing up squirrels….well, somebody has to do it!……..zannyro(I bet the squirrels have some resolutions they would like to share with you!)not to make resolutions anymore… NBI(You sound very…resolute.)New Year? Did we survive another apocalypse? (Twindaddy)Stuphblog(Let’s see…work…taxes…traffic…No. No, I don’t think we survived at all.)To never mentally flip someone off! x, Becca(Doing it physically is so much more rewarding…)Pro wrestling with Mexican midgets. I really want to beat Mascarita Sagrada.(You’ll use any excuse to wear a spandex onesie!)I’ll probably forget while I’m finishing off the champagne! (words&otherthings)(As long as you’ve resolved to finish the champagne, I think this year is a win.)Swearing like a mother f#*%$* truck driver…oops. That didn’t last long. Dammit(WE HAVE A %$#+*#$&*^%# WINNER!!!)The one where I tell myself to make a resolution. SnaapAlongG(How would you hear you over the voices in your head?)Not to be envious of other people’s mad blogging skills(For a value of “mad” that equals “insane”.)To run naked in a bar (Frank)(Eh, it’s been done.)To survive to 2014. Elyse 54.5(Um…you realize these were resolutions to break, right?…)

Congratulations to Anonymous for this weeks winning answer! And from the offered choices, the most popular was , Resolutions? We don’t need no stinking resolutions so congrats to everyone that wants to struggle through the year with no fixed purpose forced on them by tradition!

This week, it’s all about dealing with the consequences of our actions. Yep, we’re going to have to face up to all teh bad decisions we’ve made over the last several weeks. On the bright side, if we start now, we’ll be in fine shape for beach season! (Yes, I want to fit properly into my banana-hammock this sumer!)
So below is this weeks question. Answer now or think about it over a snack. But answer by 2359 EST, 10 Jan, because that’s when this one ends.

And until next week, here’s some Mitch Hedberg that I hope you enjoy! (One warning – dude’s a potty mouth. Big time.)
First, there’s a sandwich recipe here that I hope at least one of you try!
And there’s a little overlap here, but it’s worth it, just for “spaghetti”. You’ll see it when it comes around.

I sure hope so! I prefer ignoring them when I know they need change for that twenty, so when they REALLY have to go, they choose leaving a $14 tip instead of getting pulled off of their plane and arrested. Muahahahaaha. (I don’t really do this, but it’s happened unintentionally.)

No one wants the “donate to charity slice.” LOL! That guy is pretty funny. Sadly, I think my mind works in much the same way. He just says it out loud and is cool and funny and confident. haha!
Garden Party is a great song – sad too. I always feel bad for Ricky Nelson when I hear it.
Well, it looks like we’re off to a great start in 2013. So far, so good – yeah, I realize we’re only four days in, just saying.

To lose weight in 2013 I’m gonna get a divorce! You did say, “dead weight,” right? 😉

I would not want to serve spaghetti. I would want to serve oysters and beer. IJS. Thank you so much for the shout out for RP. I am attempting to start a vaca tomorrow as a reward for not sleeping in December.

I listened to Garden Party while I read your post, El Guapo, and Mitch Hedberg entertained me while I tried to figure out how I’m going to lose weight. It’ll never happen if I don’t quit going to our local McDonald’s and eating spaghetti while wrapped in a blanket.

Hey, I loved Garden Party, is this a trick question to see how old I am? I stand by my resolution to release my inner beeyatch. It’s working out great so far. Only don’t ask my hubs. He’s not enjoying it.

Svelte must mean your comments are 3x as long as your post! Loved Ricky Nelson – will have to look up the story though, I’m not sure I ever knew there was a story. My first & only resolution – must post more.

When you think svelte – think Audrey Hepburn. It’s a very toned, slim figure. Sorry this took so long, hubby has been on a rampage about how my blogging has been taking too much time now he’s home from work too.

Picture this:
I’m at home, there’s people around, they are talking about something depressing, but not too depressing to keep me engaged. I’m reading your blog and started to chuckle, home girl looks at me while she keeps narrating her sad story, I keep chuckling. Home girl says “It’s ok that you don’t give a flying duck(she said fuck but I wouldn’t say fuck in your blog) but you shouldn’t laugh”
I entered my “other” but forgot to put my name as usual.

I have/had a crush on Ricky for the longest time… I think his daughter Tracy is really cute. And I really give him kudos for surviving being a child of the iconic parental units of the 50’s, Ozzie and Harriet. GAH!!! I can’t imagine getting along with those two A-type personalities!!!
Not sure why, this post made me kind of reflective – I think it’s Ricky – not only did I listen to “Garden Party” (one of my fave songs of his), I googled him and got all sad and thoughtful. Damn. I lost that foolishness feeling, that foolishness feeling… yeah it’s gone, gone gone, whoa – oh – oh – oh – oooooohhhhhh…
Never mind, I found it!!
happy new year and I look forward to another year of your great birthday bashes and other such foolery!!!

Happy New year and looks like you are starting it with a bang1 super foolishness – even if I did have to face my behind – I mean that I am behind and – I was feeling ok about the extra few pounds ya know I did pretty good but – I mean ..I am worried – does this comment make my ass look fat? ug… I may have to work out … oh.. well thanks for all your support and your friendship and for helping make 2012 a memorable and fun year.. 🙂 You Dude – ROCK 🙂

right back at ya. It’s been a good day and you just wrapped it up and delivered it – I don;t even care that you completely skipped over the biggest question..becase you did it with such skill. And because I dont really want to know – lol.. it won;t always be this way but you will always be a rock.

ok that doesnt really look like it sounded in my head.. – trusting you know what I mean … the good way lol…

I always make my resolutions in December, as per how the first eleven months went for me. So when I quit smoking last April, that became a resolution, since yanno, I was already eight months in. As for 2013? I’ll get back to you at Christmas. And that Mitch Hedberg is hilarious.

I am so jealous of your New Year’s resolution note riddled with scribbles and addendum’s. Bummer. Now I’m stumped and can’t find anything smart to say so I’ll just point to the left and yell out SQUIRREL!
